Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"Are you crazy! Why did you lock the door!" Enzo shouted: "Vescovo, open the door quickly!"

Enzo, who had just escaped, and with some of his men who looked like defeated dogs, banged hard on the door of Umberto's hotel suite.

He had already tried to use "Alajo Cave" to force the door open, but the spell hit the door but did not cause a ripple at all.

This door must have been "anti-Alajo opened".

And other types of lock-picking spells such as "Open Sesame" and "Open Door"...

Guess why this Enzo has a cousin to help him with things, but in the end he only gets a chance to be promoted in the Department of Magical Sports?

Of course, even if he used other older and more violent unlocking spells, he probably wouldn't be able to open the door to this suite.

Because when making this door, in order to pursue style and safety, Don Malo not only chose the steel used by Muggles to make safes as the inner core, but even added some expensive goblin magic silver to it.

The person who made this suggestion to him was the old man who was sitting on the high-backed chair and was responsible for guarding the door of the suite.

His name is Vescovo, he is not only the receptionist at the entrance of the Italian Ministry of Magic, but also Don Malo's "one of his own".

But Don Marlow didn't know that Vescovo, who had worked conscientiously for more than 30 years, not only inherited his father's surname and name, but also inherited a contract and responsibility.

Vescovo was originally just the son of a Muggle farmer. His family conditions were good or bad, and he was a typical rich farmer.

When he was a teenager, in that bad era, he and his father occasionally had to take risks to smuggle agricultural products to support the family's expenses.

Once, due to a report from a colleague, the father and son were blocked halfway up a mountain by the "Romans" of the authorities, and were almost shot to death.

(However, it was precisely because of that thrilling delivery that the father and son met a pure-blood wizard from Britain.

As for why a British wizard came to live in Sicily?

Old Vescovo later speculated: Perhaps every dark-haired Briton has a little bit of Latin in his heart.

Of course, this guess is not important. What is important is that the father and son got a stable job as a blessing in disguise.

The person who gave them this job was naturally the British wizard named "Lukewood". He was a great employer.

Even though Rookwood had to leave Italy because his only son was going back to England to go to school, he still spent money to find some way to introduce them to Don Malo's father.

Only then did Vescovo and his son know that the boss of "Friends of Friends" who was leading black market transactions in Sicily was also a wizard!

In this way, Vescovo and his son have been working in Marlow's house. Young Vescovo also passed the test and proved himself to be a reliable person who could abide by the "Law of Silence".

After that, he even entered the Ministry of Magic in Italy under the arrangement of Marlowe, and became the receptionist at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic.

Anyway, a front desk worker rarely needs to use magic, so whether he is a Muggle or a wizard is not very important - what matters is his loyalty.

But what the Marlowe family didn't know was that as early as 1943, the "loyalty" of Vescovo and his son was entrusted to Luke Wood by an "unbreakable oath." Later, it was inherited as a legacy by August Rookwood.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this because it involves an oath that cannot be broken." Vescovo said as he methodically added chain after chain to the door outside the suite.

This is what Mr. August Rookwood told him: when Marlowe and others enter the apartment, Vescovo only needs to lock the door firmly, then the "unbreakable oath" will The stipulated obligations can be completely completed in his generation.

Vescovo pulled six chains on the door of the suite. In order to prevent someone from outside from coming to unlock it, he also took a few directional mines from Don Malo's arsenal at the Umberto Hotel, taped them to the outside of the door, and then opened the mine's safety.

As for the windows in the room, it has to be said that Don Marlowe "thought everything into consideration". When building this suite, he replaced all the windows with bulletproof glass that was quite expensive for Muggles at the time.

Moreover, all windows are one piece and have no hinges to open and close.

In short, when Vescovo locked the door, the apartment became an ideal secret room.

As we all know, when there is a secret room, there is always something to do to bring out the tense atmosphere created by this environment.

Enzo, who led people to smash walls and windows, thought so, so he was very anxious; August Rookwood, who hurriedly transformed into a "human cannon" and flew out of the Horntail Hall, was also very anxious, but he I regret that I deliberately turned this place into a secret room.

Flying out from the door of the Horntail Hall, the pudding-like body of his Dreadbeast was like snow that had been exposed to the scorching sun, quickly turning into a wet liquid on the ground.

August Rookwood, once again transformed into an alchemy dummy.

Although the wand and one arm were crushed by Bourne with a chain sword, this did not actually affect his ability to continue casting spells.

Taking advantage of the panic among the wizard thugs in the suite, he immediately raised his only remaining arm, and a dark red light flashed on the metal frame.

"Thunderbolt explosion!" [Note 1]

He used black magic to summon a fireball with explosive flames, which appeared directly among Enzo and others. With a "bang" explosion, those people were covered in flames and shock waves. Even if they were not killed on the spot, some parts were missing from their bodies.

August Rookwood, in the form of an alchemy dummy, took a deep breath like a living person, and wisps of black and red light spots were sucked into his mouth from these people.

However, he now just looks like an "Iron Spare Rib" - there are no internal organs such as heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys under his mouth - those black and red light spots are gathered in the middle of his ribs, like a strange and moving mass. flame.

He absorbed the pain and fear of those people and transformed them into the magical energy he needed.

The members of the wizard gang who had absorbed all the pain and fear from him, although seriously injured, seemed to have lost all feeling for a moment.

They collapsed to the ground silently, letting their wounds continue to bleed, as if they had turned into empty bodies without thoughts.

Feeling the magical energy bound in the body of this alchemy dummy, August Rookwood said to himself: "Whether it is the Muggle-born witch Morgana or the goblin rebel leader Lanlock, but They are just two thieves. This powerful ancient magic is ultimately the legacy of the [Guardian]. As a descendant of Guardian Rookwood, no one deserves it more than me."

The confidence he had just lost returned as he regained some power.

He touched his broken arm with his intact metal claw, and silently used a magic that was more complicated than "repairing it as before".
